==History==
The founder of Salt Spring Air, St. Clair McColl, started operating flights on Saltspring in 1985 when his whole family moved onto the island. McColl, at the time a pilot for Harbour Air, came from a flying family. His father, John B.McColl, was a decorated fighter pilot who fought in the Battle of Britain.〔(Air crew roll of honour ) - Battle of Britain History Society. Retrieved on March 31, 2008〕 His extended family also includes, Frank and Harry Quigley, flying aces in World War I.〔(SaltSpring Air ) - Press Release. Retrieved on March 30, 2008.〕〔(Fighter pilot ace list ) - Defence Korea. Retrieved on April 1, 2008.〕
In June 2003, McColl started Salt Spring Air, with local seaplane services based on the Gulf Islands with a four-seat Cessna 185. The airline's services were targeted to the islands' residents, and personalized services were offered. Since then, with the introduction of de Havilland Beavers in 2004, the company's fleet has grown to four planes operating six scheduled flights from Salt Spring Island to Vancouver, and other scheduled flights fly to various other locations on the Gulf Islands. It remains the only airline based on Salt Spring Island.〔(Our story ) - Saltspring Air. Retrieved on April 1, 2008.〕
Salt Spring Air became the first seaplane company in North America to outfit its fleet with pop-out safety windows on August 17, 2010.〔()

During what began as a routine flight on March 19, 2007, St. Clair McColl rescued a father and son from the frigid waters of the Strait of Georgia after a passenger noticed their capsized boat and notified McColl. The pilot and his two passengers were later honoured by the Lifesaving Society of British Columbia for the rescue.〔(Awards to Salt Spring Air, pilot and passengers )〕〔(Times colonist, 20 march 2007 ) A father and son from Vancouver whose boat capsized in the Strait of Georgia yesterday may owe their lives to a veteran seaplane pilot from Saltspring Air.〕
